A museum, memorials, or historical elements & references, can be distinguishing features in any Fire Station Design project. Museums and memorials tend to achieve greatest success when they are placed in a prominent, fore-front location of the project. A highly visible, prominent display will ensure the feature is well-known within the community and is a destination point. Locating a museum properly within a building should allow the visitors to enjoy the displays and learn in a safe environment and not compromise the effectiveness of the station in emergency response conditions. Museums can be large or small, featuring as few as one or many items such as historical equipment, bronze statues, memorials, photographs, turn-out gear, bells, alarms or nearly anything of significance to a specific department or community. Ken will use several of the firm’s station projects as case studies for this presentation.
